Every single paragraph, questions included, can be responded to with this brief paragraph:

Because right now, millions of women are both legally and\or socially treated as second class citizens, with that "clothing" used as a tool and symbol of that oppression. What is happening in regards to this issue is much more prevasive and violent than all of these other examples that have been brought up, and is unethical to ignore

Funny enough, that is precisely what I said in my first post. I don't think I need to reiterate it. Its not clothing, it is not there to protect against the elements. A Hijab and Niqab are a form of mask, designed to protect against people seeing you. Even the most rudimentary study of WHY visibility or lack theoroff ever was an issue for women will point out the purpose of veiling.

And for the third time, I don't care what you or any other individual cares about how they dress or their hair, I care about what the group that they self-identify with thinks.
